Identify the biotic limiting factor (predation, competition, parasitism, mutualism, commensalism) being described
in the chart below. Please note: each biotic limiting factor may be used more than once.
Description
a. Burrowing owls nest in abandoned ground squirrel tunnels.
b. Fruit-eating bats feed on figs and spread their seeds.
c. Nitrogen-fixing bacteria live in the roots of certain plants. The plants provide
sugars to the bacteria. The bacteria provide nitrogen to the plant.
d. A plant called spotted knapweed releases chemicals into the soil. The plants
prevent the growth of other plants.
e. Brain worms cause a degenerative condition in moose. Symptoms include
stumbling movements and apparent confusion. The condition often leads to
death.
f. Fatima takes a break from working on her science FSE, runs into a nearby
woodland area screaming BTS lyrics, and hunts down a deer for dinner (ps. the
deer is prepared in a halal manner).
